Harry W. Greene, award-winning author of Snakes: The Evolution of Mystery in Nature delves into the poetry of field biology, showing how nature eases our existential quandaries. More than a memoir, the book is about the wonder of snakes, the beauty of studying and understanding natural history, and the importance of sharing the love of nature with humanity. Greene begins with his youthful curiosity about the natural world and moves to his stints as a mortician's assistant, ambulance driver, and army medic. In detailing his academic career, he describes how his work led him to believe that nature's most profound lessons lurk in hard-won details. He discusses the nuts and bolts of field research and teaching, contrasts the emotional impact of hot dry habitats with hot wet ones, imparts the basics of snake biology, and introduces the great explorers Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. He reflects on friendship and happiness, tackles notions like anthropomorphism and wilderness, and argues that organisms remain the core of biology, science plays key roles in conservation, and natural history offers an enlightened form of contentment."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aBiologists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aNature 610 $aacademic career. 610 $aart. 610 $aautobiography. 610 $abeauty in nature. 610 $abiographical. 610 $abiography. 610 $abiology. 610 $aconservation. 610 $acreatures. 610 $aecolit. 610 $aecology. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aenvironmental. 610 $aessays. 610 $afield biologist. 610 $afield biology. 610 $afield research. 610 $afriendship. 610 $ahappiness. 610 $aherpetology. 610 $aichthyology. 610 $alife sciences. 610 $alively. 610 $alove of nature. 610 $amemoir. 610 $anat hist. 610 $anatural history. 610 $anatural settings. 610 $anatural world. 610 $anature. 610 $aoutdoor adventure. 610 $apersonal. 610 $aprofound lessons. 610 $arealistic. 610 $areptiles. 610 $ascience and math. 610 $ascientists. 610 $asnake biology. 610 $asnakes. 610 $awildlife. 615 0$aBiologists 615 0$aNature. 676 $a570.92 676 $aB 686 $aSCI008000$aNAT001000$aNAT011000$2bisacsh 700 $aGreene$b Harry W.$f1945-$01544733 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790591803321 996 $aTracks and shadows$93799168 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01196nam 2200433 450 001 9910796383603321 005 20230814232755.0 010 $a2-87998-135-2 035 $a(CKB)3790000000538484 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5178063 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5178063 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11479625 035 $a(OCoLC)1015869853 035 $a(EXLCZ)993790000000538484 100 $a20190112d2018 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDroit de la construction /$fGaston Vogel 210 1$aBelgium :$cPromoculture larcier,$d[2018] 210 4$dİ2018 215 $a1 online resource (416 pages) 225 0 $aLes Pandectes 311 $a2-87998-111-5 606 $aConstruction contracts$zBelgium 606 $aConstruction law$zBelgium 615 0$aConstruction contracts 615 0$aConstruction law 676 $a343.493078 700 $aVogel$b Gaston$0763317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796383603321 996 $aDroit de la construction$93744283 997 $aUNINA
